King's body was lodged under the chassis of the car, which left the area without stopping, Bailey said. The driver pulled into a parking lot at Seabreeze Boulevard and State Road A1A, where the body was dislodged onto the sidewalk.

Witnesses, who obtained the license-tag number, told police the vehicle left the lot and headed west on Seabreeze. The vehicle and driver were located in Holly Hill, said Bailey, who is handling the traffic homicide investigation.

Alcohol may be a factor, police said, and the case is under investigation by State Attorney Steve Alexander's staff. That office was closed Monday because of the weather, and no information on the case was available.
